Biomedical signal processing (in four parts). Part 1. Time-domain methods.
This is the first of a series of four tutorial papers on biomedical signal processing. It provides an introduction to terminology and basic ideas for testing for randomness and trend, and for the determination of basic signal properties in the time domain, given the uncertainties associated with the estimation process. Techniques outlined in the paper are: the coherent average, cross-correlation and covariance, autocorrelation and phase-shift averaging.
